True Amateurs delivers amateur-style porn at a professional price

Mainstream porn sells a fantasy, a glossy idealized view of sexuality akin to life in the movies. But outside the world of porn stars, there exists another genre: amateur porn. Reddit, cam sites, and social media are full of it, and there are pay sites that let you watch videos from real people having real sex. True Amateurs has been a name in the world of amateur porn since 2017 but recently relaunched with all new content. What’s the new True Amateurs like, how much does it cost, and is it worth your money? Here’s everything you need to know.

True Amateurs cost

When it comes to premium porn, you’re going to have to pay up. While that can be a jarring experience for people raised on free streaming, the difference in quality speaks for itself. At $24.99 per month, True Amateurs is less expensive than many sites that average $29.99 per month. If you pay month by month, True Amateurs ends up costing $299.99 for a year, making the $99.99 for a year tier that much better a deal. The problem is the site has one major hidden cost, which we’ll get to later.

True Amateurs membership benefits

True Amateurs may be the new site on the block, but its intense update schedule is making up for lost time. The site updates every two days, giving you 14 to 15 updates per month. Its new scene rate is even more impressive when you realize it doesn’t utilize well-known porn performers, drawing exclusively from unknowns.

After you’ve watched enough porn, eventually you start to learn the habits of the performers. Having a favorite porn star is one thing if you’re looking for something new or trying to imagine a fantasy seeing someone familiar can take you out of it. True Amateurs delivers brand new, stunningly beautiful, performers every other day. If you’re looking for a change of pace, True Amateurs delivers.

It’s entirely possible that True Amateurs has found an endless stream of gorgeous women willing to send in videos of their pornographic sex lives. What’s more realistic is that they cast only new talent and have them shoot “sex tape”-style footage. Either way, we don’t care because the site’s scenes are incredible. By using cameras of varying quality, the site keeps every scene from looking the same while ensuring the footage is clear. You get the idea you’re watching a real sex tape, albeit one with impossibly stunning performers who are willing to do anything. More importantly, they never push the boundaries past a real relationship. No one is going for the most extreme anal or choking their partner. This is just hot, graphic, passionate sex, shot like a personal video.

This is true with most porn sites, but on True Amateurs, it’s particularly important. If you want a year of service with downloads at the standard rate, it adds up to $500. After talking with the site’s support team, we were able to find a promotion that got that cost down to $249.94.

Despite only being around since December, True Amateurs is already casting and hiring diverse performers. While the male talent is currently exclusively white, the site’s female performers are a mix of white, Black, and Latina women. Sure, it’s still largely a white talent pool, but it’s nice to see them make attempts starting from the beginning to represent different skin tones.

True Amateurs membership cons

As of March 27, there were 48 videos on the site, with a new one added every two days. While that upload rate is impressive, the newness of the site is still a factor. It only started uploading content in December 2018, so the fact there’s already so much content is remarkable. Still, if you’re looking for a deep well of content to justify your dollars, True Amateurs doesn’t have it yet.

Here’s where True Amateurs suffers as a business. The basic membership only includes streaming video. If you want to download True Amateurs content, you’ll have to pay an extra $14.99 per month. That’s $5 more than most sites that charge you to download, and those sites usually have thousands of videos to make it worth your money. That means if you want to download, True Amateurs costs $20 per month. Even with the site’s great content, that’s a steep price to ask.

Is True Amateurs worth it?

True Amateurs is incredibly frustrating. On the one hand, its content is incredible, full of genuinely sexy scenes that feel like peeking into real-life bedrooms. On the other hand, True Amateurs has a limited content library and it’s expensive to download. In a few years, if it lasts, True Amateurs is going to be driving a hard bargain. But as enjoyable as the content is, there are other sites that do more for less money. If your kink is watching beautifully shot, pseudo-real life sex tapes, True Amateurs is a must-buy. But if you’re only mildly curious, give it a year to build up a library before you part with your dollars.
